Media Release
Richard Dickinson, CW XI Coach, February 1st, 2005
In response to this recent comment in The CW Weekly Times
Yes, it is true I have not been around as much as would be ideal in the last week, due principally to a condition which may at first appear quite comical yet having received medical guidance I have been assured holds genuine long-term health-risks.
I am as disappointed as anyone at the games to date in The VB Series, and I have the utmost faith in the players' ability to turn it around.
I am disappointed in the criticism levelled at me by Mr. Pickup; I do not deny that he has a valid point, however, and I can assure anyone who may doubt my commitment to the role that their concerns are entirely unfounded.

I would like to make this simple statement:

It is Liam's choice - he is the one who feels the neccessity for the role.
I am not one to turn down a role that is offered me.
If Liam feels the neccesity for the role, he is the one you need to take it out with.
I still see no reason a coach can possibly have a negative effect. No positive effect - you've made your point, as I say, Liam is the one you need to speak to. Negative effect? I'd like to see the evidence for that.
Incidentally, it seemed to make a difference when I suggested no-balls should be cut-down on - something Liam made a point of indicating.

Perhaps because we want this sim to be as realistic as possible, and having a coach all adds to that experience.marc71178 said:

I still don't see what difference it makes?
There's no improvement in stats from this coach is there?
And AFAIK there's no change in the selection panel (seeing as I believe that would be going against that which has been previously agreed), so what exactly does he do?

Contracts don't necessarily affect anything in the sim either, but it adds to realism and fun.

are these people under threat of being suspended like I was???
And I'll join up with Marc and Neil to really question the validity and point of employing a coach. It's just a waste of expense!!! Richard should play before he get's the honour of coaching a side.... then he'd have all the respect of the players.

he's one example... the majority have had some cricket playing experience... even if it's at grade cricket level... It's a prestigious job... possibly the most craved in CW by some, and some guy got to walk in there... I'm all for a coach don't get me wrong... but i'd like to see richard put the pads on and come through the system like all of us...
